Can be spread in the salon through haircutting, waxing, tweezing, nipping anytime skin is broken
Bloodborne Pathogens
Pus Filled boil, pimple or inflamed area
Local Infection
exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease
active immunity
An example of an external parasite that lives on the blood of a host
Infectious disease when an infected person touches or exchanges body fluids
Direct Transmission
object or substance unclean or impure
Contamination
Circulatory system carries bacteria and their toxins to all body parts
General/systemic infection
a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing
Passive immunity
Slime that is created when a bacterial colony and water are present
Biofilm
Infectious disease that can spread through the air or contaminated object
Indirect Transmission
Cross contamination
Carry disease producing bacteria or viruses with no recognizable symptoms of the disease
Asymptomatic carrier
two basic ways the body fight infections
active and passive immunity
example of biofilm in the human body
Dental Plaque
Transmitted from one person to another through touch or air
Contagious Infection
The removal of dirt and or microbes from an object
Decontamination
Disinfecting salon equipment and implements
the ability of the body to destroy infectious agents that enter the body
Immunity
Insects that cause contagious disease
Parasitic mites
Cause no Infection unless they actually enters the body
Micro-Organisms
If you have a contagious disease it is important to practice
Infection Control
Two basic classes of Infection
local infection and general/systemic infection
transmitted directly from one person to another
Head lice
